Aug 10 last date for PU admissions HIGHLIGHTS
Chandigarh, June 7 The university circular says: “A student whose result of Class XII examination conducted by a school board is published late, but not later than August 10, will be admitted without any late fee within 15 working days of the declaration of the result.” Importantly, the attendance will be counted from the date of admission. This is pertinent in the context that students who were admitted late could face difficulty in having 75 per cent attendance as per the existing norms at the end of the session. The last date will also be applicable to the Open School Boards. The university, however, has made a special provision saying: “After expiry of this period, the late admission approval from the Vice-Chancellor is required”. In the case of PU students who have already appeared in any of its examination and the result is declared late on one ground or the other, the student can be admitted within 10 days of the declaration of the results. Colleges have been warned to take all care in verifying the eligibility of the admitted candidates otherwise they will be held responsible for wrong admissions. In case of any doubt, the candidates have been requested to obtain eligibility certificates from Panjab University by filling the requisite forms. In order to minimise the “Candidate Suspended” cases in the annual examination each year, the university has stated that when admission notice is given by the colleges it should be clearly mentioned that candidates coming from other universities, boards, councils and bodies should bring Migration Certificates along with them at the time of admissions. Colleges and departments in which students are admitted to are required to send the registration forms of the students. The last date of receipt of registration forms along with complete documents has been fixed as September 30. Thereafter, the forms will be accepted: on a payment of late fee of Rs 500 till November 15; a late fee of Rs 1,000 till December 15; and a late fee of Rs 1,500 till February 28. The university will not accept any
A student of any other university who has been asked to reappear in a subject in first, second or third year of any degree course will not be allowed admission to the subsequent class of the PU. A candidate who has been asked to reappear in the Class XII examination conducted by any board, council or university in the country will be able to join the first-year class in a college of the university. The candidate, however, should have failed in one subject only; should have obtained at least 20 per cent marks in the subject; and should have at least 33 per cent marks in the aggregate if he wishes to join the arts stream and at least 40 per cent marks in the aggregate for science stream.

PLATFORM We invite school students to send in original and innovative ideas on how to conserve water for publication in Chandigarh Tribune. The write-up should not exceed 300 words and should be accompanied by a passport size colour photograph. Water is life:
Wilting crops, barren lands, people in distress and scarcity of water—these are problems being faced every year. Now the question arises as to why this is the main problem despite a number of rivers and lakes? The root cause of all these problems is the increasing population. Water is required for domestic and industrial work and its consumption is rising rapidly. However, its wastage, too, has gone up. We must conserve water, since another name for water is life. Felling of trees and pollution have delayed and decreased the monsoons. Thus, a clean environment is a must. Dams should be constructed to harness rainwater and water-saving irrigation techniques should be adopted.
